That one I don't understand either. Why are they so aggressive towards
evolution? Why not the heliocentric solar system? Or the round earth? Or
(as I learned yesterday) vulcanos?
Lots of stuff contradicts the bible. Why single out evolution?
I mean, basically you'd have to attack physics as well. Because there

Not to mention how to feed them. Or what to do with the manure....
